Andy Carroll- Sob On The Tyne [Picture]

Back in 2010 Andy Carroll was making a name for himself in
Newcastle as a young confident goal scorer, taking the promotion from the
championship and premier league football in his stride. With the world at
his feet and the Geordies beloved number 9 shirt, Carroll had the potential to
become a Newcastle Legend.

However a record breaking 35 million pound deal in the
January of 2011 saw a shock move for the Geordie to Anfield. Since joining
Liverpool Carroll has failed to match his potential only scoring eight goals in
47 appearances, and led to many Scousers question his ability. Carroll returns
to his beloved St James Park on Sunday and has admitted in the Journal his nerves
before his return.

“I don’t usually get nervous but this might be a bit
different, all of my family and friends will be there but they’re so big on football
I’m not sure who they’ll be supporting”

Carroll has admitted he is glad to see his local team doing
so well this season and admits “they will always mean something to me”. Newcastle
currently sit in 6th place in the Premier League, 8 points higher than
Liverpool and seem to have found a replacement goalscorers for Carroll in Ba
and Cisse. With a number of Liverpool fans starting to question if Carroll fits
with their style of play, many believe Carroll would have been happier to staying
at his local club.
